Sinossi
Quando Stanly trova un osso in giardino, non potrebbe essere più felice. È una scoperta sensazionale, che gli farà vincere di sicuro un importante concorso fotografico per giovani archeologi. Certo, trovare un osso in giardino è piuttosto strano. Ancora più strano è il fatto che l'osso cresca e in pochi giorni diventi uno scheletro intero, capace di saltare fuori dal terreno, ballare e fare numeri buffi: Mentre Stanly è dubbioso, la sua sorellina, Miren, è contentissima di avere uno scheletro per amico, e i due diventano presto inseparabili. Soprattutto quando la salute di Miren comincia a peggiorare, e il suo amico speciale è l'unico che riesca a farla stare meglio. Stanly ha paura, e farebbe qualsiasi cosa per allontanarlo dalla sorella, ma lo scheletro è lì per un motivo, e forse è arrivato il momento di comprendere quale. Età di lettura: da 10 anni.

I was lucky enough to get to read an early version of THE SKELETON TREE and I was immediately charmed by this beautiful, amazing story. Kim Ventrella is a talented writer who created an extraordinary novel. I'm looking forward to more great things from her. Highly recommended!

Kim Venttrella has written a story about care, loss, family, and mysterious forces that connect it all. She has developed strong characters to help us learn deep lessons, and r Leggi tutto
My heart - what a beautiful novel. Stanly has many challenges - a sick younger sister, a MIA father, strange bones protruding from the ground underneath a tree in the back yard, and a stressed and unhappy mother. But all is not what it appears to be.... this story took my heart from page one and kep Leggi tutto
I was incredibly privileged to read an early version of The Skeleton Tree , and all I can say is: this is middle grade writing at its best. Warm, heartfelt - it had me choking back tears. Truly a gorgeous, unique book. I urge everyone to put this on their TBR pile for 2017.
Well I was truly hooked on this book! I read the majority of it last night in one sitting - in the old days (aka last winter) I would have stayed up late to finish it but now I know such behaviour is not good for my health - so I finished it in the car on the way to the horse ranch this morning.

I can't wait to share this one with the middle school kids I know and teach. <3
